Re: portfolio recovery...shld I settle or pif?

Hi everyone. On my report is does say 'factoring companies' and it states the balance which is $1956 and current status say '120+ past due' . I thought they  couldn't be ' past due' since they have no due date...but then it says seven year history 0 days late for 30, 60and 90 days. The description says collection account.

The 120+past due is the part that's wrong. They can't report any past due. Have you disputed through CRAs?

I disputed it yesterday but I did not put that they are reporting incorrectly since I just found out this morning. Should I send them a letter saying this?

Actually the status 120+ past due isn't wrong.  That's the status that was reported from the OC and there is nothing wrong with them putting that on your CR.  It's when a CA puts "monthly" derogs that the inaccuracy occurs.

I apologize I read that wrong. But they WERE reporting monthly payment lates for me and even reported the monthly payment being $96.

I had many problems with PRA.  It got nasty for a bit, the letter from my attorney was the final breaking point.
